Q: Hello 5i,
Of the mag 7, I hold MSFT, GOOGL, and META. Please suggest the next mag 7 to hold or just add to those that I already have. This is for 7 to 10 years. My portfolio is balanced in all sectors as a blue chip, dividend, value investor with some growth. Eighty years old.
Thank you for your great service.

Q: I recently sold AMD to harvest a tax loss with the intention of repurchasing it after 30 days, however I am not rethinking the strategy and buy NVDA instead as it seems to have stronger prospects. In effect, which of these two companies do you think is a better investment today?
Thank you
Frank

Q: I purchased SOUN when it was associated with NVIDIA. Now down 50 percent, do you consider it a sell or hold? Thanks

Q: The latest SA article on your website says CLS is massively overvalued.Your thoughts please.

Q: Hi 5i
What is your current opinion and outlook for Dell, given Nvda results. How comfortable would you be holding going into earnings today? Are they expected to meet their estimates or is it essentially a coin toss? They seem to be on a continued downward path.
Are Dell and HPQ considered similar ?

Would 5I have any interest in Dell at current prices?
Thx

Q: I enjoy all the questions that pass through. I’m not into day trading but certainly add a couple swing trades in as a boost as well as selling calls.

With the question you answered about Canadian companies for day trading would you please provide a few US names that would fit your criteria.

Thank you.

Q: Please comment on the timing and the reason for the shelf offering for NVIDIA. Ultimately how will this affect the share price going forward.
Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team, I'm quite overweight CSU and was thinking about trimming some (or lots). I've held CSU since 2014 and think it might be time to reduce my exposure. If you were given a blank sheet and could pick 5 quality US and 5 quality Canadian names; which would they be?
Thank you Brent

Q: hi,
does 5i have any thoughts on why one would sell all NVDA holdings on May 22 (or 23), 2025? could there be too much risk re earnings coming out soon, and possible poor forward guidance vis a vis tariffs? any other issues?
cheers, Chris

Q: General question about Microsoft. Historical data looks great, at least for the past number of years (when one looks at FCF, EPS, Share buybacks, Revenue growth, ROE, Debt - all appears to be great). Looking forward, what are your thoughts re investing in this company for the long term? My main concern is with valuation. It is trading at the high end of its average high P/E of the last number of years. What do you think are the plus, minuses and risk.
And as a secondary question, do you think there are better FAANG stocks, than MS (if yes, with a possible one sentence explanation)?

Thank You!

Q: How compelling of a buy is this one ? I read your most recent response to a reader after their drop on earnings? Would you buy here given the drop? If other large cap tech is more attractive (mag 7 already owned) please offer some names that you would rank above ANET. Thank you

Q: Hi 5i
I was wondering how you would see the odds of Nvidia beating expectations next week? Will the prohibition on selling to China hurt it.?
Thanks

Q: NVTS on Yahoo finance, not present in your database.
Pls provide assessment of the deal with Nvidia

Q: I have a sizable position in CLS.CA and am fortunate to have some in my TFSA. I know you can't give any sell or buy recommendations directly but as it is currently close to its one-year price target and with the recent Moody's downgrade I am wondering if a short-term drop (so trim the position) and buying it back closer to NVDAs earnings would make sense or not? CLS has a very thin operating margin as well so adds to my confusion of what to do. Any advice greatly appreciated as always!
Thanks, Lesley

Q: Good morning!

Q: Hello 5i,
Anything to add to recent comments after CRWV reported their recent earnings?
Thanks
